203: Uncle Tang, Please Help! (6 More)

The middle-aged man glanced at Xia Xiaolan, and the little girl would never open her mouth. If she was not careful, she would be tricked.

Even her hair is so clever, it's almost the same as coaxing the clumsy trafficker to sell it. Even if he doesn't help, Xia Xiaolan will be safe and sound. However, Xia Xiaolan's intelligence can be classified as clever and lovable, not a philistine. Middle-aged men don't hate her.

He also felt that he had a lot of fate with Xia Xiaolan. He met three times in less than half a year. The first time was on the train and the second time was in Yangcheng. He didn't expect to meet Xia Xiaolan when he came to Pengcheng to work.

It just so happened that he also knew about the situation in Pengcheng. This girl seems to be a self-employed person?

The man didn't want to listen to Xia Xiaolan's nonsense, "I remember your surname is Xia? My surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Hongen."

"Uncle Tang, you have a good memory. I officially introduce myself to you. My name is Xia Xiaolan."

Tang Hongen nodded: "It seems to be doing well. Have you hired a bodyguard? It's a bit like a Hong Kong boss."

Xia Xiaolan smiled shyly, "It's not a bodyguard, it's two friends who accompany me to Pengcheng to see, I'm quite scared by myself."

Tang Hongen pointed to the small bungalow in front of him, "Didn't you say you wanted to thank me just now? Let's go, there is a small restaurant in front of me, invite me to lunch."

"Okay, Uncle Tang! You go first, and I'll tell two friends."

Tang Hongen's car window rolled up, and the car drove away again.

Senior Brother Wan saw Xia Xiaolan returning alone, and thought to himself that he failed to catch up?

"Two senior brothers, I met an elder just now. He invited me to have lunch together. It's in the small restaurant in front. Let's hurry over there."

It turned out to be a real acquaintance.

Brother Wan did not dare to argue any more.

He saw how many people were circling the middle-aged man in the car just now. No matter how good-tempered Xia Xiaolan was, she was someone who could resist Ke Yixiong. Ke Yixiong didn't even sell the face of the Bai Family Martial Arts Hall, but was frightened by the people behind Xia Xiaolan. Xia Xiaolan also knew big people in Pengcheng, and Senior Brother Wan's attitude was quite respectful.

Xia Xiaolan took the two to the small restaurant, and Tang Hongen even ordered the dishes.

The driver Xiao Wang consciously sat at another table, not knowing what was going on, Wan and Li felt that they should sit with Xiao Wu. The table in the small restaurant is relatively greasy, no matter whether it is Tang Hongen who is self-contained or the beautiful Xia Xiaolan, they don't seem to be the people who appear here to eat. But the two of them sat calmly eating at the same small table.

Putting down his chopsticks, Tang Hongen finally got to the point:

"What are you doing on the construction site? Is there any business there that you, a girl, can do?"

Make money by building.

From the purchase of building materials, to the provision of labor, food on the construction site, and the cleaning of construction waste, which one does not make money? The house was built by the national construction unit. Tang Hongen knew that many people wanted to drill their heads in here, even if it was construction waste, some people would break their heads. The locals are very united. When the whole village was dispatched, Xia Xiaolan hired two people as bodyguards and wanted to grab business with the locals.

"These houses are finished, do the interiors need to be decorated?"

What Xia Xiaolan said was out of Tang Hongen's expectation.

Construction waste can't grab the locals. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. What about the decoration in the city? This requires some professional skills, and it is not a business that a group of fishing villagers can gather and steal. Of course, Xia Xiaolan knows that building a house is the most profitable, but now she doesn't have that much capital involved.

Then starting from the decoration, you don't need any construction qualifications. It is impossible to turn the house into a dilapidated house.

"The interior decoration of the house, you say decoration?"

This line of business is very rare in China. The houses of rural people do not need to be renovated, and the houses of urban workers are allocated by the state. In the past two years, everyone’s life has only gotten better. After filling their stomachs, what Chinese people are willing to spend money on is to wear and use them. The change of dress, Tang Hongen has an intuitive feeling from Yangcheng to Pengcheng. Blue and black no longer dominate people's clothing. Yangcheng is more open than inland. People on the street wear bold colors and varied styles.

Not to mention "use", Pengcheng couldn't stop smuggling goods at all.

Small commodities from Hong Kong are smuggled into the mainland by fishing boats. Customs can’t stop them. The smuggling involves a whole village, covering each other. From the old to the young, they are all smugglers. Can they catch all the people in a village?

More than 80% of the mainland tourists who appeared in Pengcheng came to the special zone to "pick up goods".

Tang Hongen thought that Xia Xiaolan was here to join in to take smuggled goods, but she didn't expect that she wanted to get involved in house decoration, which many people don't understand now.

This is different from smugglers, it is a righteous, long-term business.

Tang Hongen nodded inwardly, and asked Xia Xiaolan a few more questions, and found that she answered well, and it seemed that she really worked hard in the field of "decoration". Without the experience of real decoration, I can't answer such a detailed answer at all. Tang Hongen was afraid of the pride of young people, so he deliberately suppressed:

"If you want to renovate a house for an individual, it is difficult to find customers. Hong Kong-owned companies definitely need renovations, but can you take over their work? They are all renovation companies from Hong Kong."

Xia Xiaolan's heart moved, Uncle Tang had something in his words, and he clearly wanted to "promote" her rhythm.

Instead, Xia Xiaolan did not dare to say too much:

"I can't take on large-scale projects now. After all, I'm just starting out, and I'm afraid of smashing our own signs. But we have an advantage over the decoration companies in Hong Kong when we do the decoration ourselves. The labor cost will be saved a lot, and the overall cost will be reduced. ."

Hiring people from Hong Kong to do the same job is completely different from hiring mainland workers to do the same job.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, in addition to the tax incentives to attract foreign investment, it is the cheap labor in the mainland that can cancel a lot of costs for enterprises. A salary of 400 yuan a month blinds people in inland cities. But four hundred yuan a month, don't even think of recruiting people in Hong Kong.

Tang Hongen and Xia Xiaolan's conversation was very loose and didn't seem to have any important points. They asked Xia Xiaolan's current business, where she went in Pengcheng, and what she thought about Pengcheng.

The bowls and chopsticks on the dining table were removed early, and the owner of the small restaurant stared at them many times.

After chatting for about an hour, the driver Xiao Wang raised his wrist and looked at the time three times, and finally couldn't help coming over to remind: "Leader, you have a meeting in the afternoon, you..."

"You girl is interesting. Chatting with you gave me a clue about some questions, Xiao Wang, leave a phone call to Comrade Xiaolan."

Xiao Wang was surprised.

The driver and secretary around the leader are very close. Tang Hongen asked the driver to leave his contact information, which is to acquiesce to Xia Xiaolan who can ask Xiao Wang for help. Of course, it is up to Xia Xiaolan to decide how many times you can find something.

If Xia Xiaolan doesn't know how to behave, Tang Hongen estimates that she will help the first time, but Xiao Wang's phone will not be able to get through the second time.

Xiao Wang gave Xia Xiaolan a landline number, and Xia Xiaolan quickly wrote down her contact address... When she went back to the business, she asked about the installation of a telephone. If she didn't have a telephone, she would rely on telegrams to communicate with the outside world, and telegrams were sometimes inconvenient. .

Like Tang Hongen, Xia Xiaolan doesn't even know what kind of leader this is.

But they obviously don't want to receive the telegram sent by Xia Xiaolan, so please call if anything happens!

"Uncle Tang, then I won't disturb your busy work."

Xia Xiaolan is very well-behaved, she is really good-looking, Tang Hongen can clearly see that she is full of shrewdness, but she doesn't hate Xia Xiaolan's enthusiasm to please, and it is estimated that it has something to do with Xia Xiaolan's good looks.

Humans are visual animals.

Tang Hongen can be a father to Xia Xiaolan at his age, and of course he won't have any thoughts about a little girl. But it doesn't prevent Tang Hongen from having a good impression of Xia Xiaolan like his children and nephews. Smart, thoughtful and motivated young people are always likable, and this young man is also pleasing to the eyes, so talk to her a few more words, and even the mood will be improved. get better.

Tang Hongen said that he wanted Xia Xiaolan to invite him to dinner, and this meal was really Xia Xiaolan's bill.

A few people eat very simply, and they don’t have much money. Ordinary people can’t invite Tang Hongen to reward them with money. They are like those who watched Tang Hongen’s car go away on the construction site, and give them a chance to treat them. His legs were running faster than Tang Hongen's car, and he had arranged a table at the best nearby restaurant.

This meal, Xia Xiaolan invited willingly.

Xia Xiaolan got the phone and wanted to give it a try, but she endured it.

Usually, don't tease the driver Xiao Wang. Of course, this kind of phone call should be reserved for critical moments. Xia Xiaolan still took Wan and Li to the construction site. But this time, Brother Wan has no opinion. Tang Hongen, who has a special car and driver in and out, still gives Brother Wan a great deterrent force.

Xia Xiaolan spent two days taking a good look at Pengcheng. From time to time, she used the current Pengcheng to compare the Pengcheng 30 years later. The city's landmark buildings, how the city plans to expand in the future, I am afraid that even the leaders of the special zone at this time are far better than Xia Xiaolan.

The 5-year plan and the 10-year plan are now advocated.

Whoever plans to build a city will not think in one breath that 30 years later, the country is now crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the chief architect of reform and opening up could not have imagined that China will become so prosperous in 30 years.

After Xia Xiaolan finished visiting Pengcheng, it was really convenient to lead two temporary bodyguards. When she returned to the People's Bridge Small Commodity Market, no one bothered her.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, business at the White Pearl booth was booming.

When she was busy closing the stall, Bai Zhenzhu wiped the sweat from her neck, "I know a new batch of goods has arrived in the village, do you dare to continue?"
